Keifuku Electric Railroad Co., Ltd. (京福電気鉄道株式会社, Keifuku Denki Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha) is a railroad company based in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan (but with offices in Fukui Prefecture) in operation since March 2, 1942.
It was transferred to the Kyoto-based electric power generation company Kyoto Dento (京都電燈, Kyōto Dentō).
The Arashiyama Tram opened the line in 1910, with 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge and electrified at 600 V DC.
[7][citation needed] The Kyoto Electric Light Company opened the line between 1925 and 1926, and double-tracked the Tokiwa to Narutaki section in 1930.
[7][citation needed] "Keifuku" is composed of two characters "京" and "福", the former denoting Kyoto and the latter Fukui.
